I'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

View allI'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with these ectopic palpitations for the last 8 months and it's really stressing me out. I went to a general physician who said it's nothing to worry about and it's just anxiety related. I have really bad cardiophobia anxiety. He put me on ciplar la 20, which helped a bit with the palpitations but they haven't completely gone away. I did a holter and an echo screening and showed them to a cardiologist. He said it's just anxiety too, but mentioned there was concentric LVH on the echo and a single ectopic on the holter. Should I be concerned about the concentric LVH and the single ectopic beat, or is it really just anxiety like everyone's saying?
Based on your symptoms and reports, I recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 20 for the ectopic palpitations. In addition, you may benefit from an anti-anxiety medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help manage your cardiophobia anxiety. It is also important to address the concentric LVH detected in the echo report. You can start taking Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage the LVH. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm a little worried because my heart rate's been around 120 to 130, which seems pretty high. On top of that, my cholesterol levels aren't great either. My triglycerides are 417, HDL is 21, LDL is 102, Non-HDL is 179, and VLDL is 83.4. What do you think could be going on? Should I be concerned?
A pulse rate of 120 to 130, combined with high cholesterol levels, requires attention to reduce cardiovascular risk. Consult your healthcare provider to evaluate underlying conditions like hyperthyroidism or anxiety, and to discuss potential medications such as statins for cholesterol and beta-blockers for heart rate control. Implement lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and reducing intake of saturated fats and sugars. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol and heart rate is essential to track progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized advice.
